ABSTRACTThe College of Engineering at Boise State University (BSU) is a new program in only its fifth year of existence. Bachelor's degrees in Civil Engineering (CE), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) are offered with M.S. Degrees in each discipline added this year. The industrial advisory board for the College of Engineering at BSU strongly recommended enhancement of the Materials Science and Engineering (MS&E) offerings at BSU. In response to local industry's desire for an increased level of coursework and research in MS&E, BSU has created a minor in MS&E at both the undergraduate and graduate level.The MS&E program is designed to meet the following objectives: provide for local industry's need for engineers with a MS&E competency, add depth of understanding of MS&E for undergraduate and graduate students in ECE, ME and CE, prepare undergraduate students for graduate school in MS&E, improve the professional skills of the students especially in the areas of materials processing and materials selection, provide applied coursework for Chemistry, Physics, and Geophysics students, and offer coursework in a format that is convenient for students currently working in local industry.

AbstractThe intent of the CRISP education and outreach effort is to use materials science as a vehicle for enhancing the scientific literacy and knowledge of kindergarten through post-graduate level students. A challenging part of our mission has been inspiring students to take the next step and consider further study (or a career) in the field of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). The CRISP educational programs were developed through a partnership between Yale University, Southern Connecticut State University and the urban school district of New Haven, CT. An overview of the methods and results of both formal and informal educational program components will be presented for years one and two of the CRISP MRSEC. This paper will focus on two CRISP programs: 1) MRSEC Initiative for Multidisciplinary Education & Research (MIMER) and 2) “Exploring Materials Science” mobile kits. The evaluation data indicates that the approach used in developing these educational programs is important. Specifically, the impact of these programs is influenced by the students' ability to relate the acquired knowledge to real life applications and technologies. In particular, emphasizing career opportunities rather than just presenting content-based programs is a key element to increasing interest towards further study in Materials Science and Engineering.

Методом ионно-лучевого распыления двух мишеней (одна из сплава CoFeB, вторая из TiO2) на вращающуюся ситалловую подложку получена серия образцов с градиентом состава и толщины композита (CoFeB)x(TiO2)1–x. На дифрактограммах aморфных композитов обнаружено гало, соответствующее среднему межатомному расстоянию, близкому по величине к значениям межплоскостных расстояний самых интенсивных дифракционных линий в сплавах CoFe. Методом ИК-спектроскопии проведена идентификация мод, соответствующих межатомным связям в аморфных композитах (CoFeB)x(TiO2)1–x различного состава. Установлено наличие связей с кислородом всех элементов композита Fe–O, Co–O, Ti–O, B-O, а также образование промежуточных химических связей Ti–O–B, Ti–O–Co между атомами диэлектрической и металлической компонент композита. На основе полученных данных предложена модель аморфных композитов (Co45Fe45B10)x(TiO2)1–x, в которой металлические частицы представляются в виде ядра из металлических кластеров CoFe с оболочкой из оксидов и боридов/оксиборидов d-металлов, распределенных в диэлектрической матрице диоксида титана TiO2–х.   ИСТОЧНИК ФИНАНСИРОВАНИЯРабота выполнена при поддержке Минобрнауки России в рамках государственного заданияВУЗам в сфере научной деятельности на 2017–2019 годы.

AbstractWe are of the opinion that students of an introductory materials science and engineering course should gain a thorough understanding of crystallographic core concepts by applying them quasi-experimentally in computer simulation sessions that run parallel to the lectures. Software simulations of goniometry of direct lattice vectors in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) will serve two purposes at once: to introduce students to practical aspects of electron microscopy and support their comprehension of crystallographic core concepts. We use the programming software Matlab and Java (Jmol applets) on a PC platform for the creation of software simulations that demonstrate this methodology and complement already existing software simulations. The newly created software is used in classroom demonstrations of an introductory materials science and engineering course at Portland State University and will become freely accessible over the internet. This software will also support and promote image-based nanocrystallography in TEM.
